….Go on forever!
We are here in this moment,
Don’t know where we will be tomorrow,
Whether we become one or not,
Whether we live or not,
This love will live on forever,
To be forgotten never,
Like a sweet melody,
It will be heard around,
Till the earth goes round,
And the Sky stands proud,
Below the beautiful angelic cloud,
The sweetness will linger on,
And our love shall forever go on.
One Rock is all one needs!
We all go through a phase of our lives where confusion, frustration, depression and anxiety take over our very being. In those crazy times, it only takes one steady rock to ground us. Imagine, you are having a professional crisis and if your personal life is steady and full of contentment then you can tackle that crisis with renewed vigour and creativity. However, if all arenas of your life are under attack, then the discontentment grows to larger than life proportions and creates havoc in your life. I truly believe that if at least one area of your life is content, then you can deal with the other craziness of your life but finding that one area where you are content is the toughest task. In these changing times, when our tastes, desires, needs and wants change every second…..how then is it a simple task to find that one rock that grounds you and leads to contentment? I guess there is no single simple answer to this question but from my experience I would say that it greatly helps in being an optimist and harnessing the positive energy to charge through the hurricanes of life and reaching that one steady rock that will save us from the craziness around us. I still search for that One Rock just like many others around me and I have the hope of finding it soon. It is out there and very close for me to discover…it is just a matter of time before I cruise through the hazy hurricane that is life but I will get there…get there I will….to my One Rock!
I am so over you….am I not?
I was having a deep conversation with a friend who was married for over 35yrs and one day their spouse just left them. They were telling me how a day before that was exactly 10yrs since the spouse left. It took them 10yrs to come to terms with it and truly get over them. You might think…what a sap, it takes them this long to get over a relationship… well for starters those two had been together sine they were 13, migrated to this country together, struggled together, got married, had 3 beautiful kids and lots of success and wealth. How can then someone after so long just walk out you would wonder…well it happens to the best of them. I guess people just change after a while….their likes change and everything starts to fall apart. In that case, how does one get over someone….? Well, I guess getting over someone is not that easy and sometimes one never does but at other times it just happens or we just make ourselves believe that we are over someone and then that belief eventually becomes a reality. Although, that reality can come crashing down in any given weak moment. This friend had several of those weak moments in the past 10yrs but over time they just realized that they don’t ever want to go back to that anymore even if the opportunity did arise…it is like an awakening….one day you just wake up and say…I am so over that person who has caused me all this grief in my life and boom…..you are over them. Not so easy for everyone but I truly believe that if one gives themselves an opportunity to move forward with their life then it definitely happens…it is a frame of mind…a psychological issue where one must muster their strength to think optimistically and, positively move forward in a direction that leads them out of their past into their future….everyone deserves to be happy…that’s my strong belief…you get one life and you have to make the most of it.
Mae-June?
While living at University, I got acquainted with a girl named Mae. I helped her get an apartment in my apartment complex and we saw each other on and off in the year I lived in that apartment complex. Then I moved out and moved on to another city and continued on with the rest of my program. After a year or so, I was walking down the street in the downtown campus again and saw a girl walking in my direction. I knew that I knew this girl and after a few seconds of trying hard to locate her in my amazing memory…I remembered…she was Mae! But something about her was different…I mean, exact face, exact height, same hairstyle, similar walk…..could not figure out what was different though. By this time, she was almost in front of me. So, I put the conversation I was having with my mind aside and greeted her saying….Hey Mae, howz it going? She responded….Hey, I am sorry but I am not Mae but my name is June. That was the weirdest encounter I have ever had and even though she was a stranger, we had a good laugh together, wished each other well and went on our own separate merry ways. While walking away from her, the one question that was really bothering me was….what was different about her that made me wonder whether she was Mae or not? Then boom, like a ton of bricks…it hit me….I realized that her head was slightly bigger that Mae’s….I could not believe how two people were so alike with such a minor difference that fooled me. I just laughed my way back to my destination and till this day I am still amazed at the similarity between Mae-June.
In Love….?
I think I am in love with you. I wonder if that can truly happen without ever meeting someone. Is it just an infatuation or is it true love? I don’t know the answer but I do know that I cannot get you out of my head. I feel your eyes and your invisible touch and it absolutely and truly intoxicates my very being. Is that really possible? I want to feel your gentle hug, want to be lost in your never-ending gaze and stay in that moment forever. I breathe you, I dream you, I hear you within me and I think I feel you too. Is that crazy I wonder, is it puppy love all over again, is it infatuation or is it true love? I don’t know anymore but all I know is that I think I am in love with you…truly, madly, deeply in love. Yes, in love with someone invisible and unknown!
Signs…..
It’s killing me how you don’t give a sign,
I wonder if you are even mine?
Don’t you feel anything?
Say that you feel something?
Patience is a virtue that I don’t have,
Attention is the only thing that I crave.
Some soft words, kind gestures,
All I ask is for some sweet whispers.
